pass, and if there was any sense in it at the
first, of course consistency demands the

But the question is, Should the Demo

The World has an interesting analysis
of the way New York State can be lost
by presidential candidate supposed TO
be entitled to it on party principles. Cass
lost New York because the Independent
Democrats who refused to submit TO the
action of the National Convention bolted
the candidate and, with Samuel J Tilden
as one of their leaders, cast their votes
for Martin Van Buren, Henry Clay lost
the State because Independent Wings,
who were dissatisfied with his course on
the slavery question, supported Binncy,
the Abolition candidate-wh had in the
previous presidential election received
only $500 votes in the State-and gave
him 1880 votes.
Having shown how any party can be
defeated by independents great
feature in New York politics, the WoHd
hints that the candidates who do not un-
derstand this had better remember that
New York is the pivotal State and study
the character of the Independent OF
course the Independent in tits case to
study would be Democrat. But it
cannot be denied that Mr.. Cleveland is
recruiting a large following from the In
dependent Republicans.
